Museum Features Dollhouse Exhibit

December 20, 1989

"Small Wonders: An Exhibit of Dollhouses" is featured at Suffolk Musuem through Dec. 31.

Dollhouses of all types, large to small, wood to metal, for play or just for show have been loaned to the museum by local citizens and merchants. Mike's Trainland, Bits 'N Pieces of Ghent and Riddick's Folly are among the contributors of the exhibits.

No two houses are alike and most are furnished with handcrafted miniature furniture and items. Some are decorated for the holiday season with minature Christmas trees and wreaths. The Riddick's Folley house was handcrafted by a local man in the 1920s.

In addition to the exhibit, the Museum Concert Series will begin on Sunday, Dec. 17 from 3-4 p.m. with storyteller Chuck Fisher. Mr. Fisher will present a program filled with holiday stories and other interesting tales. The concert series is sponsored by the Suffolk Museum and Suffolk Art League and is made possible by a grant from the Suffolk Fine Arts Commission.

Admission to the exhibit and concert is free and of interest to all ages. The museum is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For further information call 934-3111 ext. 311.
